Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wild-type C57BL/6 mice were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA). TRPV1–/– (KO) mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratories (Sacramento, CA). All mice were adult males (3–6 months of age). For the experiments, mice were anesthetized using pentobarbital (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) at a dose of 60 mg/kg dissolved in 10% ethanol given by intraperitoneal (IP) injection. Niacin (Sigma-Aldrich) was administered by IP injection at a dose of 30 mg/kg dissolved in 0.9% saline (15 mg/mL). The TRPV1 antagonist AMG9810 [(E)-3-(4-t-Butylphenyl)-N-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4] dioxin-6-yl)acrylamide] (Sigma-Aldrich) was administered by IP injection at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg in PEG400 (20 mg/mL). The TRPV1 agonist capsaicin (Sigma-Aldrich) was administered topically at a dose of 0.2 mg in acetone (20 mg/mL).

Pharmacological Characterization of ASIC Channels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Drugs were obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA), including hydrochloric acid, ET-1, BQ-123, BQ-778, amiloride, APETx2, capsaicin, and AMG9810. Different pH values were configured with hydrochloric acid and external solution. Working ET-1 and other drugs were freshly prepared in normal external solution and held in a series of independent reservoirs. The pipette tips connecting the reservoirs were positioned ∼30 μm away from the recorded neurons. The application of each drug was driven by gravity and controlled by the corresponding valve. In some experiments where GDP-β-S (Sigma) or GF109203X (RBI) was applied for intracellular dialysis through recording patch pipettes, they were dissolved in the internal solution before use. To ensure that the cell interior was perfused with the dialysis drug, there was at least a 30 min interval between the establishment of whole-cell access and current measurement. To functionally characterize ASIC activity, we used AMG9810 (5 μM) to block TRPV1 in the extracellular solution [36 (link)].

Mechanisms of Inflammatory Pain Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Carrageenan and PGE2 were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, United States). The PKCε agonist ψεRACK (peptide-sequence HDAPIGYD with a membrane permeable sequence) was synthesized by Bankpeptide (Hefei, China). The PKCε inhibitor PKCεV1-2 was purchased from Calbiochem, Milipore Sigma (Darmstadt, Germany). The TRPV1 antagonist capsazepine (CPZ) and AMG9810 were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, United States) and Abcam (United States). Morphine was purchased from Northeast Pharmaceutical Group Shenyang No.1 Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Shenyang, China).
A stock solution of PGE2 (1 μg/μl) was prepared in 10% ethanol and dissolved in normal saline (NS) to a concentration of 100 ng/25 μl immediately before injection. Car was dissolved in NS to a concentration of 2% and stored. AMG9810 was prepared in Dimethyl sulfoxide as a stock and diluted in PBS to a concentration of 0.8 mg/25 μl before injection. The peptide ψεRACK, capsazepine, and PKCεV1-2 were prepared in NS to a concentration of 1 μg/25 μl immediately before injection. Morphine (10 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally.
The use of all the drugs in this study was based on previous studies.

Mechanical hypersensitivity was tested in mice at 24 weeks after SNI or sham surgery or 24 h after injection of complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA), before and 30 min after intraplantar application of the following drugs, each in a volume of 20 µl: diclofenac (D6899, Sigma Aldrich; 50 µg), celecoxib (PHR1683, Sigma Aldrich; 150 µg), AMG 9810 (A2731, Sigma Aldrich; 20 µg), AP-18 (A7232, Sigma Aldrich; 4.2 µg) and tanezumab (anti-NGF antibody; TAB-111, CreativeBiolabs; 30 µg).

Antagonizing TRPA1 and TRPV1 Receptors

Complete Freund adjuvant (CFA; Sigma) was emulsified in an equal volume of isotonic saline. AP18 (40 nmol/μl; Sigma), a TRPA1 antagonist, was dissolved in PBS containing 1% DMSO and 10% Tween-80. AMG 9810 (10 nmol/μl; Sigma), a TRPV1 antagonist, was dissolved in PBS containing 5% DMSO and 10% Tween-80. Antibodies against 13(S)-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE) and 9(S)-HODE (Oxford Biomedical Research; 1 mg/ml) or goat IgG (a negative control; Sigma; 1 mg/ml) were suspended in PBS. The specificity of these antibodies was previously validated (Spindler et al., 1996 (link)). Catalase (Sigma; bovine liver; 300 units in 20 μl) was dissolved in PBS. Heat-inactivated Catalase (denatured by boiling for 10 min) was used as a control. The concentration and dose of Catalase was determined previously (Trevisan et al., 2014 (link)). For intramuscular injection, mice were briefly anesthetized using 3% isoflurane.

Masseter Muscle Hypersensitivity Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mechanical hypersensitivity in the masseter muscle was assessed under CFA-induced inflammatory condition as described previously.7 (link) A series of calibrated Von Frey filaments (1–125 g) were applied to the region over the masseter muscle. An active withdrawal of the head from the filament application was defined as a positive response. Each VF filament was applied five times and the response frequencies ((number of responses/number of stimuli) ×100%) to a range of filament forces were determined. After a non-linear regression analysis, an EF50 value, the filament force (g) necessary to produce a 50% response frequency, was determined. Mechanical sensitivity of the masseter muscle was determined before and three days after the CFA injection in the masseter muscle. The effect of a TRPV1 antagonist, AMG9810 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), on mechanical sensitivity was examined on three days following CFA injection. On test day, AMG9810 (1 µmol in 50 µl) or the same volume of vehicle was administered directly in the masseter muscle under anesthesia using isoflurane. The post AMG9810 or vehicle effect was measured 30 min, 1 h, and 24 h after the drug injection.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
